3-D Feudual System Model Overview of Assignment Directions: Students will design a 4 level 3-D model that demonstrates their understanding of the Middle Ages’ Feudal System. Models must reflect students’ knowledge of the topic as well as their discoveries when researching the European class system. Requirements: 3D model must be 4 divisions high Must stand freely Division/ class displays should be glued down Required labels (terms listed below) Written Summaries (requirements explained below) Students must dress as class member when presenting model Class defense- minimum 1 sentence defense explaining why you/your group set-up display in the particular way Suggested Materials: 4 tier model; Shoe boxes, tissue boxes, large boxes with dividers Displays; clay, play-dough, GI Joes, Barbie Dolls, photos, Legos Labels; typed, neatly-hand written. Keep it consistent! Hot glue keeps all items/ displays in place the best Due Date: Monday, April 14th
Students will be provided class time during the times listed below: o Entire week of March 25th o Thursday, April 3rd o Friday, April 4th o Monday, April 7th o Friday, April 11th

Required Labels; 80 points Students must label specific items in their models, other labels may be included but will not factor into final grade Labels Per section: Homes People (position title, ie Knight) Clothing Economy (ie farms) Children and their roles in class (ie. school, working, training, etc..) Women and their roles Division: Must label serfs, knights, nobles and royals (front of display) and include a brief, one sentence summary explaining what they are (glue summary to side) One sentence defense per division explaining why you designed it the way you did (glue to side of display) Label your most important class and in one sentence, explain why (glue to side) Dates of feudal system (ie. Early years? Duties of roles change..) Back of model: Original definition of what the feudal system is Cause and Effect Chart—3 points in each section Social, political and economic buckets—1 aspect per section Turning Point: Consider the Middle Ages and defend what is the major turning point in the establishment of the feudal system
Presentation and On-Task; 10pts Presentation: Students will dress as members of the feudal system, and briefly and informally explain their model. Students must be able to explain why they designed their model in the particular way, what class division they think is most important, and what their argued turning point is. On-task: Students will be monitored during class time, and will lose points when they are off-task/ goofing around/ not working on assignment.
Feudal System Design; 20 points Students will be graded on the overall design of their project. The design will reflect the amount of time spent researching the topic as well as their understanding of the content. Design: Must include all 4 tiers; serfs on bottom, kings on top Understood; I must be able to understand the model when assessing the project Accurate information; includes order of classes, specific details, any dates, terms, etc.. displayed (ie Native Americans should not be picking corn..?) Model and materials stand freely Complete—do not waste my time and turn-in a project that is incomplete Neat, colorful, unique, clever and original
Overall; 10 points Overall grade will be provided. Based on students’ abilities to follow instructions, requirements and overall design of project.
